1. Tippmann is recalling about 13,000 A-5′s due to a flaw in the end cap assembly that can cause it to eject from the marker’s body and hit the player, potentially causing injury. The CPSC and Tippmann issued the recall in response to 3 minor injuries.
2. PaintballX3.Com breaks the news that Gino Postorivo is coming back to the game after his enforced hiatus due to a non-compete agreement, most likely under his Valken brand. http://www.paintballx3.com/industry/hes-baaaaack.html for the full poop. Minions are enroute to John Amodea’s house to further interrogate him about the story.
3. Charles Taylor says: ” We are looking to sponsor some teams in March.  To be sponsored by us you pay a one time $125.00 fee. The fee just covers the cost of the products we will send you.   We will be sending you 5 Annihilator Grenades and embroidered patches which say SPONSORED BY WATCHYOURBACKPRODUCTIONS.COM    We will send you enough patches for your whole team.  We also have bigger sponsorship packages if needed.  $220.00 for 10 Annihilators.  That equals $22.00 per Grenade.  Plus we will also  be sending you free parts for a year as long as you send us the broken parts.  So our sponsorship lasts 1 year.  Let me know if you guys are interested. I hope you  and your team want to be part of our family. www.watchyourbackproductions.com New video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-xui1eTt1A&feature=channel_page“
